from The Hillside Club · host The Hillside Club
The boys are back with a loaded episode, starting with Rob’s recap of his trip to Pittsburgh, where the playoff atmosphere absolutely delivered, but the Penguins didn’t. From there, we get into a packed NBA playoff reaction with LeBron and the Lakers taking down the Rockets, the Celtics and Thunder already looking like title favorites, and whether it’s finally time for a real Anthony Edwards conversation. We also touch on the Suns being stuck in NBA purgatory, and the Magic stunning Detroit on the road behind Paolo, reminding everyone just how dominant he can be. Then we shifted back to puck talk, where playoff hockey once again proves it has unmatched chaos, with Tampa-Montreal looking like the series of the weekend, Buffalo delivering an insane comeback win, as Tage Thompson went full superhero in one of the best finishes of the postseason so far. Later in the show, we talk Knicks-Hawks with Brunson once again showing why nobody is better when it matters most, KAT stepping up late, Atlanta already having lineup issues, and why this series could get ugly fast. We also hit the NFL Draft with AJ Brown trade rumors, Steelers and Giants pick talk, why Jeremiah Love feels like a franchise-changing back, and what New York should do now holding two top-10 picks. Plus, Ben Rice gets his flowers after an unbelievable start at the plate, the Spurs playoff atmosphere gets the love it deserves, and Rob unloads on the Mets for looking completely lifeless. Real takes. No fluff. Just another great episode for y’all!
